Dear Deanna!
My wife and I have been married for
11 years. She wouldn’t wear linge­
rie and the lights had to be off when
being intimate. I expressed my con­
cerns on these matters. Later in the
marriage she quit work because I
was taking good care of the house­
hold. There was still no intimacy, so
I had an affair with a female friend.
I told my wife about this but then I
saw her ear at a man’s house. She
denied being there at first but later
she said they only sat and talked on
the sofa. Am I a fool or what? —

Dear Deanna:
I would like your opinion on a mar­
riage where one spouse constantly
degrades another spouse verbally
while not doing what the Word
says they should do as head of the
household. Shouldn't they both be
accountable to G od's Word at all
times and not just when they claim
to be a Christian? If the unhappy
one has suggested and tried prayer
or counseling is it their fault if they
